• The Dumont family were members of the Pesew Band of Mountain Cree headed by Louis Joseph Piche. The Delorme’s, Cardinal’s and Bruneau’s were also part of this Asini Wachi Wi Iniwak Band. Her siblings were: Gabriel b. 1795 who married Suzane Lussier; Suzanne b 1785 who married Thomas Smith; Jean Baptist dit Larkin Dumont b. 1 Feb. 1805 dd. 27 Oct. 1885 married Marguerite Laframboise; Isidore Dumond dit Dumont b. 20 March 1818, d. 1885 who married Angele Landry and Louise Laframboise; and Cecile Dumont b. 1800 who married Joseph Desmarais.
